I like to offer my clients an opportunity to choose between an office visit, or a walk and talk at a nearby trail or park. Through my research I have found that clients with difficulties like ADD/ADHD, depression, and anxiety respond best to treatment in the outdoors.

I enjoy working with all types of clients; some might come to me with specific problems, like anxiety, while other might come with less clear ones, like uncertainty or complicated family. Most of my clients have been college students or young adults working through life transitions, learning about their own identity, and understanding past trauma. I believe therapy can and should be for everyone, so I love the process of figuring out what parts of psychological science can best serve you as a client.

My ideal client is a woman who is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious/depressed. She is really good at taking care of her loved ones but sometimes struggles with how to really take care of herself. She knows that she deserves to feel joy and peace but isn’t sure how to achieve it. My therapeutic approach is action based, present/future focused, typically short term (3-6 months), and goal centered. I’ve been practicing as a therapist for about 15 years and specialize in working with women who are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and stressed. My clients tend to be high achieving, dependable women who others often rely on.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals who have faced various forms of trauma, from the subtle to the profound. My mission as a clinical social worker is to create a safe and nurturing space where healing can flourish, empowering my clients to overcome the emotional scars that trauma can leave behind. I understand that healing is a unique and deeply personal journey, and I tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the individual needs of each client, fostering resilience and supporting healing from within.

My goal is to create a space where clients can feel comfortable and empowered to explore who they are so that they may become their authentic self. I am a strong believer in the relationship between therapist and client being a collaborative one, where you have just as much of a say in your treatment and will always be met from a place of non-judgment and curiosity. As a neurodivergent, queer woman, I understand all too well how difficult it can be to find real affirming care and just how relieving it is to find someone who actually "gets it." I aim to work from an antiracist, intersectional, sex positive, antiableist perspective.

At some time or another in life, everyone feels stuck, unable to overcome some problem despite his or her best efforts. Talking therapy can be invaluable in helping one gain new perspectives on oneself . By helping clients see themselves in new, broader, more realistic and more accepting ways, I help them gain the emotional and psychological energy and understanding to make needed changes. I believe I am most helpful to people by listening carefully to what they are saying and by helping them put into words what seems hard to say or even to understand right now.
